The Player: Jordan Cameron
The Box Score: 2 catches, 19 yards

Listen, Jordan Cameron, we need to talk. When you were drafted by the
Cleveland Browns in 2011 in the fourth round, you were talked about as
being one of the biggest steals in the draft, and that hype machine
continued to build. You were going to be the next great tight end, and
your breakout third season only confirmed this: 80 catches for 917 yards
and seven touchdowns.

After an injury-plagued 2014, this was supposed to be your year. You
were in Miami to join forces with Ryan Tannehill and his freshly minted
contract extension, destined to join the ranks of the elite tight ends.
How have you repaid that faith? By starting out weak and only getting
worse as the season progresses. Need proof? Here are Cameron’s stat
lines:

Week 1 at Washington: 4 catches, 73 yards, 0 TD

Week 2 at Jacksonville: 3 catches, 62 yards, 0TD

Week 3 vs. Buffalo: 3 catches, 16 yards, 0 TD

Week 4 vs. New York Jets: 2 catches, 19 yards, 0 TD

You simply are not who we thought you were, while Travis Kelce is
everything we thought you would be. I’m not mad at you, Jordan — how can
I be? You do, after all, play for the moribund Miami Dolphins with a
fraud as a quarterback. I’m just disappointed.
